“…The average length of stay of children and adolescents was 5.87 days (± 3.56), lower than the average obtained in other studies (6)(7) that stated 11.89 and 16.32 days of hospitalization, respectively. Some explanations for the high diversity found in the results of the research regarding this variable is based on the severity of the injury and possible presence of complications arising from burns, which are important factors for determining the period of hospitalization of the victim.…”

Burns are important causes of morbidity and mortality in children and adolescents whose effects are reflected in significant functional limitations. This is a descriptive, quantitative study aimed to characterize the clinical and epidemiological profile of children and adolescents victims of burns admitted to a referral Hospital of Joao Pessoa, Brazil, from January 2007 to December 2009. The majority of victims were infants (37%), preschoolers (33.2%) and boys (54%). The incident mostly occurred at home (85.5%) by accident (90%) and scalding (69.6%). Second-degree burns were predominant in 62.6% of cases and about 24.2% of the sample developed complications and secondary infection was the most common (12.1%). Balneotherapy is one of the most common procedures. We conclude that education programs at schools, community centers and in the media need to be strengthen since most injuries occur in the home environment and could be prevented.Descriptors: Accident prevention.

Referencia de João Pessoa, Brasil, de enero del 2007 a diciembre del 2009 RESUMO As queimaduras constituem importantes causas de morbimortalidade infanto-juvenil, cujas repercussões refletem em significativas limitações funcionais. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, de natureza quantitativa, que objetivou caracterizar o perfil clínico-epidemiológico de crianças e adolescentes vítimas de queimaduras admitidas em um Hospital de Referência de João Pessoa, Brasil, de janeiro de 2007 a dezembro de 2009. A maioria das vítimas compõe-se de lactentes (37%), pré-escolares (33,2%) e do gênero masculino (54%). Os eventos ocorreram, principalmente, no domicílio (85,5%), acidentalmente (90%) e por escaldamento (69,6%). Predominaram as queimaduras de 2º grau, em 62,6% dos casos, e cerca de 24,2% da amostra evoluíram com complicações secundárias, sendo a infecção a mais comum (12,1%). A balneoterapia foi um dos procedimentos mais realizados. Conclui-se a necessidade em intensificar programas educativos nas escolas, nos centros comunitários e meios de comunicação, já que grande parte dos acidentes ocorreu no ambiente doméstico, podendo ser evitados.

“…[4] In this age population, children generally have the capability to move about freely; however, they do not have sufficient cognition about the dangers in their immediate environment. Together with the well-known factors aggravating burn occurrence in childhood, like the socioeconomic status of the family, cultural and ethnic factors and educational status of the parents, children are put at greater risk of burn.…”

AMAÇYanıklar çocukluk döneminde önlenebilir travmalar arasındadır. Yanık yaralanmaları çoğunlukla haşlanma, alev, elektrik ve kimyasal yanıklar olarak sınıflandırılır. Ancak her biri altta yatan etyolojiye göre tedavi sırasında farklılıklar gösterir. Bu çalışmada, haşlanma yanıklarında süt yanıklarının önemini vurgulamak için hastalar geriye dö-nük olarak incelendi. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMHastaların (461 erkek [%60,4], 303 kadın [%39,6]; kadın erkek oranı 1,52) demografik özellikleri, yanık etyolojisi, kliniği ve klinik seyirleri değerlendirildi. BULGULARGrupların yaş ortalamaları 3,36±2,86 idi. Kadın ve erkek hastalar arasında yanık nedenleri açısından fark bulunmadı. Hastaların toplam vücut yanık alanı ortalaması %16,91±12,63 idi. Sıcak süt yanığının diğer haşlan-malardan daha geniş ve daha derin yanığa neden olduğu ve daha çok 3. derece yanıklar olduğu belirlendi (sırasıy-la, p<0,001, p<0,001, p<0,05). Süt yanıkları aynı zamanda hastanede daha uzun süre kalmanın nedeniydi (p<0,001). Mortalite oranı süt yanıklarında diğer haşlanmalardan daha yüksek bulundu (p<0,001). SONUÇSüt yanıkları kötü klinik seyir nedeniyle özel dikkat gerektiren bir durumdur. En önemlisi ise süt yanığının görünen-den daha derin olacağı gerçeğinin farkında olmaktır.
